What Does the City of Joy look like?

Bukavu, where the City of Joy is located, is a beautiful town resting on the south side of Lake Kivu, one of Africa’s Great Lakes. The City of Joy sits in a valley, down the road from Panzi Hospital and just off Essence Road, a bustling throughway.

“When women first come they cannot see you, they can’t talk to you, they are ashamed, they are fearful, but after six months at City of Joy they can stand, talk without fear, without shame, and they have confidence in themselves.”
